As the rest of you know, I upload a new video on YouTube every Thursday, but you may not yet know my theme this month? It's a word most of us hate: Loneliness.

But if you've been following me for a while then you know that it is a word I talk about a lot as it's my life calling to help end loneliness and create more meaningful connections. And we don't want to just jump to the "meaningful connections" part and skip over the loneliness without gathering up the wisdom that our body is giving us!

So this month I wanted to pop into your inbox and invite you to acknowledge that loneliness.

The holidays can exacerbate the feeling of loneliness for many... and I want you to know I see you. You are not alone.

This season of extended darkness and long nights can be the perfect time to reflect on that which we fear and lean into the wisdom that comes from those shadows....

Or, maybe your New Years goal will be to foster more Frientimacy in your life and you want to get started now so that by the time Jan 1 comes along you have more clarity on your plan?

May you be reminded as you watch the first two videos in this series that you are most definitely not alone in feeling loneliness.... and may you feel inspired to respond to it with love, compassion, and strategy!
